Strength is what it takes to do something for yourself
Courage is what it takes to do it for others
Harriet Tubman was never a slave
She was a woman
A strong, courageous woman
Never brought down by the lashing of a whip
Or the pounding of a fist
She kept visions of freedom in her head
She was never weakened
She took the journey for herself
Then took others' hands and led them through it as well
Back over and over again
She never lost a soul
Saving people over and over again
Until she couldn't walk another step
She showed strength like no other had before
She proved to all that she...
Truly was Moses

Wow! A great poem here to commemorate Harriet Tubman. I think it's really cool that your poems will honour some important people during Black History Month. I look forward to reading these future poems. All the very best to you.
